Bryan Cranston to Spill Breaking Bad “Secrets and Lies” in New Memoir

Less than a year after laying Breaking Bad to rest, star Bryan Cranston has plans to revisit the Emmy-winning drama, in literary form. It was announced today that the actor and former teen magazine dreamboat will write a memoir about his life, career, and years spent dissolving bodies in chemical barrels on screen. In a a statement on the endeavor, Cranston emphasizes the behind-the-scenes Breaking Bad component of the forthcoming memoir.

Cranston revealed that “Walter White taught me a lot—some of it useful, some of it dangerous” and the actor is excited to “tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting Breaking Bad.” Meanwhile, the publisher of Scribner—the Simon & Schuster imprint which will be releasing the book—assures us that Cranston’s writing skills are on par with his performing. He “writes the way he acts—with fierce commitment, intelligence and humor.”

And while we are anxious to learn all of the dark dirty secrets that went into creating one of television’s most disturbing villains, we do sincerely hope that Cranston regales us with tales of his earlier, more embarrassing years—particularly the ones in which he was pitched as a Tiger Beat-style pin-up was pitched as a Tiger Beat-style pin-up.
